International Men’s Day (19 November)
A space where male employees can exchange views and reflect on the topics men face in today’s working world. A natural complement if your company already has a format for women.
Talk for employees · Facilitated discussion · Workshop
Corporate wellbeing workshops and talks – in English or German, in the Zurich area
A short talk with facilitated discussion over lunch, a session for your health day or a workshop for your team: I bring the content and the facilitation, on site at your company in the Zurich area.
In short: I run corporate wellbeing workshops, talks for employees and facilitated discussions, in English or German, on site at your company in the Zurich area, and online on request. The formats are designed for about 30 to 40 participants. The shortest takes about an hour, for example as a lunch and learn; longer workshops are available on request. Every quote is tailored: you receive it after a no-obligation briefing call.
Occasions
A session with substance, where your employees do not just listen but get talking. Typical occasions:
Health day or wellbeing programme
A session with substance for your health day or workplace wellbeing programme, for example a talk on handling stress, followed by an exchange.
Team day, offsite or kick-off
The content part of your team event: a topic your team is dealing with right now, with time to reflect and to talk. The social part follows afterwards.
Lunch and learn
About an hour over lunch: a short input, reflection questions and an open discussion. It fits into the working day without taking up half of it.
Another occasion
A leadership meeting, a networking event or an awareness day in your calendar: tell me what you are planning, and we will work out together what fits.
Formats: from a talk for employees to a workshop
The difference: a talk is a short expert input followed by discussion. A workshop takes longer and leaves more time for exercises and for going deeper.
Talk and discussion over lunch
A short expert input, reflection questions and a facilitated discussion. A social part can take place separately, for example in the evening.
Late afternoon, followed by an apéro
Input and discussion for about an hour, then an apéro or another social part where the conversations can continue.
Combined with a social event
Input and exchange as the content part of your company event, for example before a barbecue from about 4.30 pm in or around Zurich.
Workshop, for example half a day (3–4 hours)
One focus topic in depth: two or three short inputs, small-group exercises (e.g. reflection and conversation exercises, a short mindfulness practice), a facilitated discussion and, to finish, concrete next steps for everyday work.
What I bring and what you organise: I bring the content, the facilitation and the working materials. Your company organises the room, the catering and the social part, so the setting stays in your hands.
Topics
We develop the topics together in the briefing call: what is on your employees’ minds right now, and which format suits it? I then tailor the content, flow and setting to your group. These topics work well as a starting point:
Men in today’s working world
Changing roles, pressure and performance, fatherhood and work-life balance – and how to talk about strain instead of carrying it alone.

Handling stress and exhaustion
How stress builds up, what the early warning signs look like and what actually brings relief in everyday working life. A practical way into stress management and mental health at work.

Resilience at work
What keeps people steady in demanding phases, and which small exercises fit into a full working day.

Emotions at work
Emotional intelligence in everyday working life: noticing emotions, making sense of them and handling them so that they help rather than hinder in teamwork and conflict.
More on this: Emotional overwhelm: learning to regulate your emotions
Setting boundaries
Saying no without long justifications, clarifying priorities and dealing with high expectations – your own and other people’s.
More on this: Setting boundaries & strengthening self-worth
Mindfulness at work
Short exercises from the MBSR approach that fit between two meetings: arriving, breathing, refocusing.

High sensitivity in the team
What high sensitivity is, what it means amid lots of stimuli and full calendars, and how a team can handle it well.
More on this: Coaching for highly sensitive people
For context: in the 2022 Job Stress Index of Health Promotion Switzerland, 30.3 per cent of people in work felt emotionally exhausted – the first time since 2014 that the figure was above 30 per cent.

How I work
Approachable, appreciative and clearly structured. A session combines short expert inputs with reflection questions, a facilitated exchange and an open discussion. Depending on your goals, activating exercises can be added.
- Short inputs rather than long lectures: enough content to get people thinking, and enough time for conversation.
- Reflection questions that connect the topic with each person’s own working day.
- A facilitated exchange with room for different perspectives, and an open discussion.
- Activating exercises on request, depending on goals, group and setting.
The exchange takes place in a space free of judgement, built on trust and respect. Nobody has to share anything personal: everything is allowed, nothing is required. I do not pass on what participants say in the exchange, not to the employer either. For me, confidentiality and professional integrity are the foundation of this work.
How it works
From the first conversation to the session in four steps.
No-obligation briefing call
By phone or video call (Zoom or Teams): what is on your employees’ minds, what is the occasion, how many people will take part, and in which language?
Concept and quote
After the call you receive a tailored quote. I tailor the content, flow and setting to your group and your occasion.
Preparation
I prepare the inputs, the reflection questions and the working materials to suit the topic and the format.
Delivery
I come to your company and facilitate the session; online on request. You organise the room, the catering and the social part.
Who facilitates
I am Winn Chelini, a certified life coach (Master Life Coach, Cognitive Behavioral Life Coach, Professional Life Coach) trained in MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction). Alongside one-to-one coaching, I run men’s evenings in small groups: I pick up topics that matter to the group and leave room for exchange, reflection and discussion.
My work as an IT specialist consultant and team leader in PLM and CAx means I know corporate working life from the inside. As a training leader I have led groups of different sizes, and I regularly run trainings in English. For international teams whose working language is English, the whole session runs in English.
“The open and appreciative atmosphere Winn created helped us to exchange on a deeper level in the group.”

What a workshop is not
A workshop is not group therapy and not a substitute for medical or psychological support. I do not make diagnoses and I do not treat anything. Nor is it a Mental Health First Aid course, and there is no certificate.
Nobody has to share anything about themselves – everything is allowed, nothing is required. Anyone who needs more support than an exchange will find services below. Where the line between coaching and therapy runs: Coaching or therapy?

Frequently asked questions
How much does a corporate workshop cost?
Every session is tailored, so you receive an individual quote after a no-obligation briefing call. It depends on the topic, format, length, preparation and location. Your company organises the room, the catering and any social part.
How long is a lunch and learn or a talk for employees?
A talk with facilitated discussion takes about an hour. That fits a lunch break or the late afternoon, for example from 4 pm. Workshops, for example half a day (3–4 hours), are available on request.
How many employees can take part?
The formats are designed for about 30 to 40 participants; smaller teams and larger groups are possible on request. How much of the exchange happens in small groups and how much with the full group is something we clarify in the briefing call.
Can a workshop be held online?
Yes, online via Zoom or Teams is possible on request, for example for distributed or hybrid teams. I adapt the flow and the exercises to the online format.
Is this therapy or Mental Health First Aid training?
No. It is coaching-based input with a facilitated exchange: not group therapy, no diagnoses, no treatment, and not a certified course such as Mental Health First Aid. In an acute crisis, the right first step is professional help, for example 143 (Die Dargebotene Hand) or 144 in a medical emergency.
More on this: Coaching or therapy?
Is what employees say kept confidential from the employer?
Yes. I do not pass on what participants say in the exchange, not to the employer either. Nobody has to share anything personal, and taking part in the discussion is always voluntary.
